GEA Heating & Refrigeration Technologies is putting its technological horsepower on the road.

Leading technology company GEA has re-engineered the H-Packer SO Plus for long-cut pasta packaging by integrating a faster, highly reliable and technologically advanced system, comprising a double dosing unit and a continuous motion packaging machine.

GEA has redesigned its GEA Scan-Vibro Sifter type SRW to improve its dewatering and hygiene performance, specifically for plant-based applications. The updated machine will be on show at Anuga FoodTec trade fair from April 26-29, 2022 in Cologne.

From May 14 to 19, GEA will launch the new spiral freezer GEA ProEdge Drive at IFFA (in Frankfurt/Germany, Hall 8, booth G20), the leading international trade fair for the meat industry.

Composite packaging waste and used beverage cartons contain valuable raw materials. Conserving these worldwide and reprocessing them again and again is an elementary prerequisite for sustainable environmental and climate protection.

At IFFA 2022, GEA, a global player in the food industry, will showcase its most recent food processing, freezing and packaging innovations, which bring important benefits in sustainability, digitalization, product quality and productivity.

GEA is expanding its valve portfolio with the GEA Aseptomag^® LV leakage valve. The mixproof double-seat valve is designed for manufacturers of foods and beverages, as well as pharmaceutical products, who maintain high safety standards in their UltraClean process lines.

GEA Heating & Refrigeration Technologies is consistently expanding its PR-OLEO^® portfolio of ammonia refrigeration oils with new oils suitable for additional cooling and heating applications.

GEA is launching a key element for process safety in the food, beverage, dairy and pharmaceutical industries: the mixproof double-seat valve Type MX from the GEA VARIVENT^® family. Safety is crucial for the future viability of production plants, product integrity and the ever-increasing hygiene requirements are regarded as potent drivers of innovation. With advanced process components such as the new “MX” valve generation, GEA supports companies that aspire to play a pioneering role in product safety.

GEA has secured its third contract from food manufacturer Pol’s to deliver and install RAY^® freeze drying equipment at the company’s 4,000 m2 fruit and vegetable freeze drying facility in Ermenek, Karaman, Turkey. The new order will see another RAY^® 125 freeze dryer installed at the Pol’s site. This will give the ability to increase freeze drying output from 200 tons to 300 tons per year. Handover of the new equipment is expected by mid-2022.
